Re: Considering building an ultimate looper...

hehe. yeah that would be 16/port. Lots of people like myself run up
to 8 ports.
Hey Bob A. finally got back today and confirmed my fear that he hadn't
designed with any option to get more outs. So one of the thoughts
coming to mind is to even design an expandable unit with a motherboard
with maybe a dozen slots. ANd each slot capable of carrying a card that
has the jacks built onto it and it's own dsp engine with common clocking
on the mainboard.. Maybe a two rack space unit instead of one. -Bob
